Congratulations to Mrs Clarke!

We are pleased to announce that Mrs Clark welcomed a baby girl into her family last week. Baby arrived a little earlier than expected but both she and mum are doing really well.

I am sure you will join me in congratulating Mrs Clarke and her family.

We all can't wait to meet baby when she is allowed into school to visit us!
